    Abstract Purpose: To determine the impact of amphotericin B supplementation to donor cornea preservation solutions on the rates of positive donor rim fungal cultures and postkeratoplasty fungal infections.
    Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of cases undergoing corneal transplantations at a single tertiary referral center from 2016 to 2021. Patients undergoing corneal transplantations with and without amphotericin B supplementation to the storage media were reviewed for donor rim culture results and postoperative infection. The primary outcome measures were positive donor rim fungal culture results and postkeratoplasty fungal infection.
    Results: A total of 1238 corneal transplants were analyzed. Of these, 849 were stored in preservation solution without amphotericin B, while 389 had amphotericin B included. There was a lower incidence of positive donor rim fungal cultures in cases with amphotericin B supplementation (1.8%) compared to the cases without amphotericin B (2.9%), although this difference was not statistically significant (P = 0.24). Of the 389 cases with amphotericin B supplementation, one (0.25%) went on to develop clinically significant infection, while three of 849 (0.35%) cases without amphotericin B developed infection. The sample size was too small to determine the effect of amphotericin B on the incidence of postkeratoplasty fungal infection.
    Conclusion: The addition of amphotericin B to donor cornea preservation solution resulted in a downward trend of positive donor rim fungal cultures and postkeratoplasty fungal infections, although these differences did not reach statistical significance. Further studies with larger sample sizes are necessary to appropriately determine the impact of amphotericin B supplementation in the storage solution on positive donor rims and postkeratoplasty fungal infections.

    Abstract A 63 year-old man presented with 3 weeks of worsening, painless left-sided proptosis, ptosis, and diplopia. Examination of the affected eye revealed normal visual acuity, normal intraocular pressure in the presence of a shallow anterior chamber, grade 1 relative afferent pupillary defect, restricted motility in all directions of gaze, and 6 mm of proptosis. Ultrasound biomicroscopy revealed uveal effusions with anterior rotation of the ciliary body causing appositional angle closure. B-scan ultrasonography and MRI demonstrated enhancement of the posterior globe and an infiltrative mass involving the lacrimal gland and multiple extraocular muscles. Laboratory studies revealed positive perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody with elevated myeloperoxidase antibodies, consistent with a diagnosis of microscopic polyangiitis. Biopsy showed nonspecific dacryoadenitis. Intravenous and oral corticosteroids were associated with rapid improvement of all examination findings. The patient was later switched to rituximab steroid-sparing therapy and has shown no recurrence of disease at 3-months follow-up.

    Abstract Purpose: To compare measurements of papilledema using fundus photography, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and Frisén score in patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH).
    Design: Retrospective, noncomparative analysis of randomized controlled trial data.
    Methods: The Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension Treatment Trial (IIHTT) evaluated weight management and treatment with acetazolamide compared with placebo in patients with IIH and mild visual loss. Among the 126 subjects in the IIHTT OCT substudy, fundus photographs and OCT scans of the optic disc were taken at baseline and at 6 and 12 months after enrollment. Trained readers scored each eye using a modified Frisén scale and measured the area of disc elevation. OCT scans assessed optic nerve head (ONH) volume. Correlations between volume and area were computed for both study and nonstudy eyes.
    Results: Disc area and ONH volume were positively correlated at baseline (R
    Conclusion: Frisén score fails to reflect the photographic area and OCT volume of papilledema after treatment with acetazolamide. Clinicians should use caution when using the Frisén scale to monitor the effect of treatment on papilledema over time.

    Abstract Background: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a common complication of prematurity, is associated with outpatient morbidities, including respiratory exacerbations. Daycare attendance is associated with increased rates of acute and chronic morbidities in children with BPD. We sought to determine if additional children in the household conferred similar risks for children with BPD.
    Methods: The number of children in the household and clinical outcomes were obtained via validated instruments for 933 subjects recruited from 13 BPD specialty clinics in the United States. Clustered logistic regression models were used to test for associations.
    Results: The mean gestational age of the study population was 26.5 ± 2.2 weeks and most subjects (69.1%) had severe BPD. The mean number of children in households (including the subject) was 2.1 ± 1.3 children. Each additional child in the household was associated with a 13% increased risk for hospital admission, 13% increased risk for antibiotic use for respiratory illnesses, 10% increased risk for coughing/wheezing/shortness of breath, 14% increased risk for nighttime symptoms, and 18% increased risk for rescue medication use. Additional analyses found that the increased risks were most prominent when there were three or more other children in the household.
    Conclusions: We observed that additional children in the household were a risk factor for adverse respiratory outcomes. We speculate that secondary person-to-person transmission of respiratory viral infections drives this finding. While this risk factor is not easily modified, measures do exist to mitigate this disease burden. Further studies are needed to define best practices for mitigating this risk associated with household viral transmission.

    Abstract Background: The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program is well recognized in surgical quality measurement and is used widely in research. Recent calls to make it a platform for national public reporting and pay-for-performance initiatives highlight the importance of understanding which types of hospitals elect to participate in the program. Our objective was to compare characteristics of hospitals participating in the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program to characteristics of nonparticipating US hospitals.
    Methods: The 2013 American Hospital Association and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Healthcare Cost Report Information System datasets were used to compare characteristics and operating margins of hospitals participating in the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program to those of nonparticipating hospitals.
    Results: Of 3,872 general medical and surgical hospitals performing inpatient surgery in the United States, 475 (12.3%) participated in the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program. Participating hospitals performed 29.0% of all operations in the United States. Compared with nonparticipating hospitals, American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program hospitals had a higher mean annual inpatient surgical case volume (6,426 vs 1,874; P < .001) and a larger mean number of hospital beds (420 vs 167; P < .001); participating hospitals were more often teaching hospitals (35.2% vs 4.1%; P < .001), had more quality-related accreditations (P < .001), and had higher mean operating margins (P < .05). States with the highest proportions of hospitals participating in the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program had established surgical quality improvement collaboratives.
    Conclusion: The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program hospitals are large teaching hospitals with more quality-related accreditations and financial resources. These findings should be considered when reviewing research studies using the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program data, and the findings reinforce that efforts are needed to facilitate participation in surgical quality improvement by all hospital types.

    Abstract Objectives: Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a birth defect associated with long-term morbidity. Our objective was to examine longitudinal change in Functional Status Scale (FSS) after hospital discharge in CDH survivors.
    Design: Single-center retrospective cohort study.
    Setting: Center for comprehensive CDH management at a quaternary, free-standing children's hospital.
    Patients: Infants with Bochdalek CDH were admitted to the ICU between January 2009 and December 2019 and survived until hospital discharge.
    Interventions: None.
    Measurements and main results: One hundred forty-two infants (58% male, mean birth weight 3.08 kg, 80% left-sided defects) met inclusion criteria. Relevant clinical data were extracted from the medical record to calculate FSS (primary outcome) at hospital discharge and three subsequent outpatient follow-up time points. The median (interquartile range [IQR]) FSS score at hospital discharge was 8.0 (7.0-9.0); 39 patients (27.5%) had at least moderate impairment (FSS ≥ 9). Median (IQR) FSS at 0- to 6-month ( n = 141), 6- to 12-month ( n = 141), and over 12-month ( n = 140) follow-up visits were 7.0 (7.0-8.0), 7.0 (6.0-8.0), and 6.0 (6.0-7.0), respectively. Twenty-one patients (15%) had at least moderate impairment at over 12-month follow-up; median composite FSS scores in the over 12-month time point decreased by 2.0 points from hospital discharge. Median feeding domain scores improved by 1.0 (1.0-2.0), whereas other domain scores remained without impairment. Multivariable analysis demonstrated right-sided, C- or D-size defects, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation use, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and chromosomal anomalies were associated with impairment.
    Conclusions: The majority of CDH survivors at our center had mild functional status impairment (FSS ≤ 8) at discharge and 1-year follow-up; however, nearly 15% of patients had moderate impairment during this time period. The feeding domain had the highest level of functional impairment. We observed unchanged or improving functional status longitudinally over 1-year follow-up after hospital discharge. Longitudinal outcomes will guide interdisciplinary management strategies in CDH survivors.

    Abstract Introduction: Almost half of all school-age children with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) have asthma-like symptoms and more suffer from lung function deficits. While air pollution and indoor respiratory irritants are known to affect high-risk populations of children, few studies have objectively evaluated environmental contributions to long-term respiratory morbidity in this population. This study aimed to examine the role of indoor environmental exposures on respiratory morbidity in children with BPD.
    Methods and analysis: The Air quality, Environment and Respiratory Ouctomes in BPD (AERO-BPD) study is a prospective, single-centre observational study that will enrol a unique cohort of 240 children with BPD and carefully characterise participants and their indoor home environmental exposures. Measures of indoor air quality constituents will assess the relationship of nitrogen dioxide (NO
